Lawmakers passed a government initiated constitutional amendment prohibiting the settlement of foreign nationals in Hungary, setting up an administrative high court, and banning people from living in public spaces.

The role of the judiciary should be clearly defined to avoid judges reinterpreting laws and extending judiciary concepts in a way contrary to the intention of the lawmakers, which would be anti-democratic, Justice Minister László Trócsányi said in an interview published in daily Magyar Idők.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has informed senior officials of the ruling Fidesz and Christian Democrat parties about the composition of the new government entering office after the inaugural session of parliament in the weeks to come, the prime minister’s spokesman said.

A conference was held at Budapest’s Pázmány Péter Catholic University to mark the 40th anniversary of the United States’ returning to Hungary the Holy Crown, one of the country’s most precious national relics. Justice Minister László Trócsányi said in his address that the crown was “a symbol of national independence, as well as a source of the power of the public and individual freedom rights”.
